How It Works
Length and weight
Length and weight conversions work by converting your value to a common base unit (meters or grams), then converting from that base unit into your target unit.
Temperature
Temperature doesn't convert with a simple multiplication factor like length or weight — Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin each use their own conversion formula (e.g. °F = °C × 9/5 + 32).
Example Calculation
1 meter is about 3.28 feet. 1 kilogram is about 2.20 pounds. 0°C is 32°F, and 100°C is 212°F.
Common Mistakes
- Applying a simple multiplication factor to temperature like other units — temperature conversions require adding or subtracting an offset, not just scaling.
- Mixing up similarly-named units, like fluid ounces (volume) with ounces (weight) — this calculator's "oz" is a weight unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why can't temperature use a simple conversion factor?
- Because the different temperature scales don't share a common zero point — 0°C is not the same physical temperature as 0°F — so converting requires both scaling and shifting, not just multiplying.
- What units are supported?
- Length, weight, temperature, area, volume, pressure, time, and speed — each with the units people search for most, from millimeters and acres to PSI, stone, and knots.
